The Museum Collection

The collection in the national mining museum consists of tools, machines, equipments and archive documents from the era of iron ore which lasted from the beginning of the19th century until the Eighties.

The principal part of the collection is on display in the underground galleries of the mine. Presented in their original location, equipment and machines bear witness to more than a century of technological evolution.
Through this spectacular presentation, visitors can really appreciate the arduous nature of the miner's work.

A selection of objects, including lamps, tools, helmets, measuring instruments, photographs and archive documents, is contained in display cases in the exhibition hall, some of which are dedicated to a presentation of minerals and fossils. The collection is displayed under the patronage of the "Institut géologique Michel Lucius" ( IGML)
